Substitute for Status Premium Roundwound strings?

[karlfer]

I love Status Premium Roundwounds, but , over the last year or so, availability has not been great.

I emailed couple of days back about availability of 40 - 100's, no reply.

One time last year, I ordered some, paid, and it was 6 weeks before I got them.

I need something more reliable, so anybody used them , then switched to something of similar "feel" and tension?

Cheers,
Karl.

I may be wrong (or they might not produce them still) but Picato manufacture Status strings. So, Picato = Status.

Excellent Mr. Funk, many thanks

I know that they were having a few problems with supply prior to the LBGS - not sure whether they have managed to resolve these but Dawn is incredibly helpful - why not give her a ring and have a chat to see what the situation is.

Cheers Mick.
I generally tend to order or ask for info from home on an evening as that is convenient for me.
4 days without reply (not for the 1st time sadly) isn't great.

If they offer internet ordering, they should be backing it up really. The problems have been on and off for a year now so really I'm looking for a more reliable service.
Many thanks though,
cheers,
Karl.

Still no reply from Status.

Strings ordered 2.40pm yesterday from Strings Direct.
Arrived with post 9.25 this morning.
Superb service.
